Configuring a database

Lightning supports multiple databases, with MongoDB, Redis, and PostgreSQL all being offered as options.

MongoDB + Redis

MongoDB + Redis can be used with Lightning using the following database config.

If you don’t want to use a connection string for MongoDB, you may use a ConnectOptions object. For Redis, you may configure it by passing a Deno.ConnectOptions object

import { revolt_plugin } from 'jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-revolt@0.8.0';

export default {
  prefix: '!bolt ',
  database: {
    type: 'mongo',
    database: 'mongodb://mongo:27017/lightning',
    redis: {
      hostname: 'redis',
      transport: 'tcp',
      port: 6380,
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    revolt_plugin.new({
      token: 'your_token',
      user_id: 'your_bot_user_id',
    }),
  ],
};

Redis

Redis can be used on its own with Lightning using the following database config.

You can configure how Lightning connects to Redis by passing a Deno.ConnectOptions object

import { guilded_plugin } from 'jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-guilded@0.8.0';

export default {
  prefix: '/lightning ',
  database: {
    type: 'redis',
    config: {
      hostname: 'localhost',
      transport: 'tcp',
      port: 6380,
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    guilded_plugin.new({
      token: 'your_token',
    }),
  ],
};

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL can be used on its own with Lightning using the following database config.

You can configure how Lightning connects to PostgreSQL by passing a ClientOptions object

import { discord_plugin } from 'jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-discord@0.8.0';

export default {
  prefix: '!',
  database: {
    type: 'postgres',
    config: {
      user: 'server',
      database: 'lightning',
      hostname: 'postgres',
      port: 5432,
      host_type: 'tcp',
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    discord_plugin.new({
      token: 'your_token',
      application_id: 'your_application_id',
      slash_commands: true,
    }),
  ],
};
